All right folks, well welcome to Investing for Beginners Podcast. This is episode 114. Tonight, Andrew and I are going to discuss a listener question. We got this great question from Jack and I'm going to take a moment to read the question and then Andrew and I will do our little back and forth and have some discussion about it. So starting off we have hello Andrew. I'm thinking about buying a home.

Monthly mortgage costs are currently cheaper than renting in my area and my family would be able to pay the

down payment for me in cash. Do you have any insight into the financial advantages and
